DreamPlay at the City of Dreams

DreamPlay by DreamWorks and City of Dreams will definitely be a must-experience

Being a child at heart, I was so excited when I found out that City of Dreams Manila will be opening a DreamWorks entertainment center here in the Philippines. Last May 22, DreamPlay, world's first "edutainment" center is introduced by the Melco Crown Resorts Corporation. Now I'm just so excited that we can finally witness this one-of-a-kind interactive experience.

DreamPlay hasn't opened yet, but there's too much excitement for me already!

DreamPlay by DreamWorks is an education-based interactive entertainment concept that will be introduced when City of Dreams Manila opens later this year. When the concept was shown to us, I thought that more Filipinos doesn't need to go abroad anymore just to see their favorite DreamWorks characters like Shrek, Alex of Madagascar or Po of Kung Fu Panda. This family entertainment franchise features the DreamWorks Animation and iP2 Entertainment and combined the best elements of their works that gives children a hands-on activity and play center at the same time. It is designed for the whole family, where you can bond and have a different kind of adventure.

Last January 2014, City of Dreams Manila introduced Hollywood-celebrity trendsetting Nobu brand, marking the first Nobu Hotel in Asia. World's first "DreamPlay" by DreamWorks gives us another exciting reason to visit City of Dreams as it realizes its overall vision to deliver world-class and diverse innovative lifestyle and entertainment offerings, and to support the Philippine government’s strategy to broaden the appeal of the Philippines as a leading leisure destination in Asia.
